The youth has always been drawn to political education. In periods of uncertainty, discussion spaces that promise clarity, critique, and purpose naturally attract students seeking to understand power, injustice, and their place in society.

For former rebels, however, the Third Rectification is not a cure. It is a defensive consolidation, a last-ditch attempt to resuscitate an exhausted strategy by doubling down on doctrine and discipline.

The recruitment of young people from the cities to the mountains is not coincidence—it is command. In every story of a young person who “decides” to join the revolution, we often hear the refrain: “It was my personal choice.” A decision, they say, born of conviction, a moral stand for justice. But the truth is, it is never merely personal. Behind every so-called choice lies the collective hand of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), deliberate, organized, and systema

Written in October 2021, “On Three Viewpoints Concerning the 2022 Elections” was not just an ideological commentary. Certainly not rare but a candid exposition of the CPP’s dual political strategy: the simultaneous pursuit of armed struggle and electoral participation through its legal “patriotic and democratic” organizations. Read carefully, Sison’s own words reveal how the Party sustains this two-pronged approach, and how it protects the tactic by weaponizing the narrative

They call themselves progressives. They speak of democracy, liberation, and people’s power. Yet, within their own circles, freedom of thought is the first to vanish.
